THE TRICKY mORMONs,

The report of the majority of the five Utah ! commissioners is a strong and straightfor- | ward document. It makes clear that the
 Mormons who, in trying to get Utah admit ! ted to the Union, have made some fine | promises, are not trustworthy. The com l mission regards this movement to make Utah a State as an effort to free the Mormon church from the tolls which the firm attitude of the government and the energetic course of the federal officers have thrown around it, J and Opposes it's consummation." That the Mormon church, whose members framed the new constitution, has not changed it's atti- tude toward "plural marriage" is shown by the fact that the commission has procured the names of sixty seven men who have en- tered into polygamous relations in the last year. "The Mormon leaders and their obe- dient followers" says the commission, "have made no concession to it's (the nation al law's) supremacy, and the issue is square ly maintained between assumed revelations and the laws of the land"
 The population of Utah territory is about 200, ,00O, and the property assessed at valu- ation of s35, 1000, 900. The report shows that there are more than 30,000 Mormons in the Territories of Idaho, Arizona, Wyoming and New Mexico and the States of Nevada and Colorado. More than one-fourth of the peo- pie of Utah are Gentiles, and they own near ly one-third of the assessed property; but even with the aid of the new voters oath they were able to elect only five of the thirty six members of the territorial legislature in August last. The strength and compactness of the Mormon church is shown by the state ment that of 162, ,3S3 persons connected with it no less than 34 431 are officers or dignita- ries of some kind-apostles, patriarchs, high priests, priests, elders, deacons, or teachers.
 The commissioners recommend to congress to give the governor power to appoint all the local civil officers. This recommendation has been made by others who thoroughly un- derstand the situation in Utah. It would be called severe proceeding by some, and others will not think it at all necessary. But whether it is done or not the report of the commission leaves no excuse for delusion concerning the real spirit and aims of tts tricky Mormons.
